Nantucket Beaches
If you have young 'uns head to Children's Beach, right in Nantucket town, where the water's calm and there's a playground. Surfside Beach, 2 miles to the south, is where the college crowd heads for an active scene and bodysurfing waves. The best place to catch the sunset is Madaket Beach, 5.5 miles west of town.

Cycling
No destination on the island is more than 8 miles from town and thanks to Nantucket's relatively flat terrain and dedicated bike trails, cycling is an easy way to explore. For a fun outing, cycle to the picturesque village of Siasconset('Sconset), known for its rose-covered cottages. A couple of companies rent bikes ($30 a day) right at the ferry docks.

Centre Street Bistro
Settle in at a parasol-shaded sidewalk table and watch the traffic trickle by at this relaxed cafe. The chef-owners make everything from scratch from the breakfast granola to the warm goat's cheese tarts.
